Thus far, I am the best bartender I have ever met. But I have always been merely a big fish in a small pond.

I came to L.A. and I met a guy who was the most amazing bartender I have ever seen, but he was still on my level. But he had so much confidence about himself...it really changed my mind about what sort of bartender I really was, or maybe even could be. That was at Petros in Manhattan Beach. (That was where I had a transaction with Zooey Deschanel who picked up a couple salads togo. Also I carried a couple plates out for the L.A. Lakers on a busy night. It wasn't my table, but I mentioned it on here and some jerkoff quizzed me on it and I failed his examination.)

But then I got fired from that job. Personality conflict, I guess. I'll never really know the reason.

So I looked elsewhere and I took a crappy job. I had to.

A handful of hours ago I was invited to a second interview at an amazing place in Santa Monica and I completely bombed the interview. I have had an ear infection from too much surfing and I couldn't even hear myself talk. I also used profanity twice in the interview. It was a bummer because I rode 15 miles on a beach cruiser and worked out at the 24 hour fitness a mere block away so that I could use their facilities with no shame, and then I had to ride that same 15 miles back. On a beach cruiser.

I really can't stress enough about this place and about the owner and his passion for drink making. It's really on another level. The things I have seen on his menu are unlike anything I have ever seen. And the discussion I had with him was unlike any I have ever had before. He is really on another level.

As I was lamenting my stupidity and general boneheadedness back at the hostel with an employee and a fellow **** who has been staying there for as long as I have (7 weeks at 40 dollars a night,) my phone rang. I was offered the job. 4 nights a week. Wednesday through Friday.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have tended bar in Irish pubs and Salsa clubs, Holiday Inns and Hibachi Steakhouses, Burlesque clubs and Peruvian restaurants and everything in between. I have never met a bartender that I felt could show me something or a drink menu that I thought was worth a damn. Not until now.

I've never really given a good goddamn, but I will soon become a "complete" bartender. I also should make a ****load. This **** is going to teach me a lot. And that stays with me.

Soup. Install imgur app on your phone. When on it, there's a little camera icon in the middle. Tap that, then upload your photos. Once done, tap the photo, then the little share icon thing. The > symbol with two balls on the end.

Here I will help out. SOUP thinks he's a king of bartending but can't make a good enough case to keep himself hired more than a few weeks. Owners of bars would rather have sub quality bartenders and let this God of bartenders go for no explained reason ever.

It's almost like he sucks at his job so bad they fire him for being a joke of a bartender. But it's SOUP, so that can't possibly be it afterall....

HEAVY LEATHER GONNA HURT HIM IN THE FEELS, BRO... BUT I DO BELIEVE HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BRING HIM BACK TO EARTH/

Of course.
I believe the manager wanted to keep the black gay man who soup said sucked at his job and instead fire soup who from his own words, is the best bartender out there.

Because you know, every manager wants to keep useless tits over top notch workers.

Or the reality is Soups imagination of his ability do not match his actual skill level.

I never said he sucked at his job. He's a gay waiter who has been working at the same place for over 10 years... and they left him in charge of the restaurant, for crying out loud. He's magnificent at his job.

You see my friend, you are the one who is making up things. You do that a lot too. You make up details to make your arguments stronger. It's freaking pathetic. Seriously, what is your purpose here? Do you come do this forum just to stage arguments with random people that you've never met? That is just childish.

I don't want to engage with you, dude. You have a problem with me being a bartender? I don't care. It is a very weird issue you have, but I'm not interested in getting to the bottom of it. Just stay out of my threads, bro.

It is my goal to be an elite casino dealer. It may seem like dealing card games is a simple job but I'm telling you guys first hand, it's not. It takes 2 years for a beginning dealer to be an effective Black Jack dealer. 3 years for an experienced dealer to be an effective craps dealer. I have a year and a half under my belt but I'll never be a high level dealer because I'll be a supervisor by then..

Pretty sure being a gas station attendant involves more brain activity. lol

Not really. Just takes practice, reliability and your employers need to like you.

Not trying to poo poo you but my brother worked at Harrah's in his early 20's while going to school full time and i know that ain't true. He was doing blackjack, bakkeraut & craps for VIP's within 6-8 months. A year and half in he was a Pitboss then he got tired of it and became the VIP Coordinator.

TBF he's very smart, extremely hard working, picks up skills fast and he's great with people.

I'm already dealing for VIPs. That doesn't mean anything as far as effectiveness. You are mistaken. Any dealer will tell you it takes approximately 2 to 3 years of dealing craps before one is good and effective at it.

This comment is driving my girlfriend in St. Louis crazy. And it is completely out of context, as I have mentioned no skank or girls or drinking with anyone, really. So when my girlfriend asks me about this, I have no way of explaining what you mean. Could you, on this forum, explain what you mean by this?

Because while this forum has been a diversion of mine for the last 7 1/2 years, reading other peoples comments and sometimes making some of my own, it is not so interesting that I can allow it to destroy meaningful relationships in my life. I may have to stop posting here and maybe even delete my account if I can't get an answer that can satisfy my girlfriend, who is all the way in St. Louis and is constantly worried about me.

"They had left a snarky black, boy-lover in charge who was really just a waiter who had been there for 10 years. Try to picture BjjNoob ordering me around and you get the idea. "http://forums.ufcfig...im-tough/page-2

You just called the dude a waiter and said he was as bad as BJJnoob.
So you can spin your lies all you want, but everyone knows your full of ****.

He posted about a skank he was getting drunk with, and then edited it out. He thought I missed it, but I did not.

Now he's trying to involve me in his sick games, and deceiving this poor woman in STL. It's unreal, man.

Yeah it was me. I was his girlfriend. He just broke up with me last night because I was hanging out with this girl he doesn't like. I have been lonely since he left so I needed some company and she lives right down the street. I figured if he could break up with me for something that trivial, after 2 years of being in love, he must have had something going on with someone else. He probably got drunk and forgot I had an account here.
